INDUCTIONMOTOR CONTROL BASED ON ADAPTIVE PASSIVITY

In this paper two new schemes for induction motor control are proposed and compared. Both approaches are based on the concept of adaptive passivity. First, a technique using the scheme of field oriented control (FOC) is proposed, and by means of an adaptive state feedback, a passive equivalent system is obtained. Furthermore, making use of the novel torque-flux control principle (TFCP), the proposed scheme is greatly simplified. Second, a technique based on energy shaping approach, which does not make use of the FOC scheme, is proposed. The technique is based on interconnection and damping assignment (IDA) control transforming the original system into a passive one. Since this technique does not use the FOC scheme, it gives more flexibility in the implementation. Both techniques are then implemented at laboratory level and compared from experimental viewpoint using as benchmark the standard FOC scheme with PI controllers
